arm64 support

[P-AS]

Hello, since my main computer is a Macbook Pro with M1, it would be very convenient to use libTAS on this computer without needing to carry around another laptop just to use libTAS. It would have less applications than x86, but you could still be able to TAS a lot with it.

Have you tried compiling for ARM?

[InfoTeddy]

Oh, also - macOS support for libTAS is incomplete. Unless you're running Asahi Linux or something? But I don't think libTAS can even launch any games on macOS.

Also, have you considered using a virtual machine?

[P-AS]

I am talking about linux, I should've clarified that.

There are a few things that would need to be implemented for ARM, but not much. I don't have a machine so I cannot test it. Did you try compiling it?

[P-AS]

This is what happens when you try to compile it libtasarm.txt

[InfoTeddy]

Yeah, that seems about right. Pull requests for ARM are accepted if you want to do the work, or you can wait for Kilaye or someone else to do it.

There's an emulator called box64 you can try as well.

[P-AS]

Last time I tried it, box64 didn't work with libTAS. Fex-emu isn't an option on M1 macs but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work either (when I tried it in a vm).

On macOS Ventura you can install rosetta on linux inside a vm (video), which does let you run libTAS on arm64. However, rosetta prevents you from loading savestates. Testing with ruffle:
